I'm adding some subtitles to a QuickTime movie but having problems locating text just the way I'd like it.

Imagine a subtitled movie where a single line of text appears say, 30 points up from the bottom of the image, but when two lines are displayed, everything shifts up so that the bottom line STILL maintains a position 30pts from the bottom. In other words, that's the lowest allowable margin.

I managed to do this about 3 years ago in a very simple way without changing any sizes dynamically, but didn't take any notes and I'm darned if I can reproduce the same effect again. I seem to recall it only involved the initial 'height' and 'textBox' descriptor settings. Here's the textfile I'm using for now:

{QTtext}{font:Geneva} {bold}{size:24} {textColor:65535,65535,0} {backColor:0,0,0} {justify:centre} {timeScale:25} {keyedText:on} {width:648} {height:0} {textBox:0,0,60,640} {timeStamps:absolute} {language:0} {textEncoding:0}

[00:01:09.00] This displays text on a single line. [00:01:12.00]

[00:01:14.00] This displays text on two separate lines. [00:01:17.00]

[00:01:18.00] The End. [00:01:20.00]

Any ideas what I need to modify?
